Ten THOUSAND persons assembled at Ennis
on Saturday to attend the meeting of the Irish
National League, says a Dublin dispatch.
The police took possession of the hill of Bal
lycoree, where it was intended to hold the
meeting. The procession, enlivened by
twelve bands of music, and including
Messrs. Timothy Sullivan, Hon, Cox,
Sheehy, William OBrien, and Philip
Stanhope all members OF the House
of Commons, and several priests, moved to-
ward Ballycoree Hill, the approaches to
which were guarded by soldiers and police.
The pro cession, finding its further progress
barred, halted in a field, and Messrs. Sulli-
van, Stanhope, and O'Brien made speeches
from their carriages. troop Of hussars,
headed by Colonel Turner, Divisional Magis-
trate, rode up to where the procession had
halted and Colonel Turner ordered the meet
ing to disperse within five minutes. Mr.
Stanhope handed Colonel Turner copy Of
the resolutions adopted by the meet
ing, claiming home rule, declaring ad-
herence to Mr. Parnell, thanking
the Liberal party, pledging resistance
to the proclamation of the league, and de-
nouncing land-grabbing. Mr. Stanhope de-
clared that the proceedings OF tho meeting
were legal, and that if collision occurred be-
tween the people and troops he would hold
Col Turner responsible. Turner replied that
he was bound to execute his orders After a

Dispatches from Rome state that the
Pope has approved the plan of the new
Catholic university, which is TO be located
in Washington. In the matter of loca-
tion, as in other respects, the Pope conf
dently defers to the judgment of the bish-
ops, and places the institution directly
and forever under the sole jurisdiction OF
the American hierarchy In all the text
of the brief are used enthusiastic terms OF
endorsement in the same spirit as the Ian
guage of the pope on the occasion of the
private reception to the cardinals after
Thursdays consistory. namely: 1T is the
pride of our pontifcate and the glory Of
the church of America" The brief will
be signed by the pontiff next week.
Bishops ireland and Keane, it is stated,
are delighted at this manifestation of cor
dial approval, and will leave for America
as soon as the brief is received. They
were commissioned by the Third Plenary
council of Baltimore to present to the
Pope the prospectus of the university,
which it is intended to make the most
complete institution of its kind in the
world. Over 100000 of the $s,0OO,0OO
needed have been subscribed.

The prolongation of life in England by
reason of the application of sanitary mess
ures in the last thirty years is such that
1886. 900 persons were alive at the end of
1886 who wou d have been dead if the
rate OF mortality Of the period from 1870
tn 1880 had not been reduced as il Was
The death rate Tor the six years since 1880
was 1873 per 900 OF population. as against
IA in the decade between 1870 and 1880.
The lower rate is largely due to the de-
crease of zymoiic or filthy diseases. Be
tween 1860 and 1870 there were AIS
deaths tor each thousand Of population
from such diseases. Since 1880 The rate
is but 2.43. The birth rate last year was
80 4, or lover than at any time in the pas
forty years.. Infant mortality also dimin
ishes. Since 1880 the rate has been 141
per 1000 births, against 149 in the decade
preceding 1880. These facts as a whole
indicate, it is thought, a larger diffusion
of knowledge and the real comforts of life

A democratic Congressman, who keeps
himself pretty well posted on national
politics, remarked Tuesday while at the
Treasury Department, that there is now
very little ground for democrats to com
plain that republican officials are not be-
ing turned out OF the government service
fast enough. He says he has given the
subject considerable attention, and he
finds that nearly all of the republican
postmasters have been replaced by demo-
Gratis, and the same can he said of collect
ors of customs, collectors of internal reve-
nue. and their subordinates, and Of nearly
all of the other branches Of the public
service. He predicts that before the mex
presidential election rolls around there
will hardly be republican in any impor
tant government position except in the
departments at Washington, and they can
be of little or no assistance to their party
as their superior officers can prevent them
from taking an active part in politics by
simply saying when they request to &c
home to vote that their services cannot be
spared from the office at that time. He
also takes a very cheerful and hopeful
view of The political situation from hi.
party standpoint. He says the creation Of
the interstate commerce mission will
be of inestimable value to the democratic
party in the next campaign as it will
have the administration behind it, and
therefore exert powerful influence
over the railroad corporations which have
heretofore been the base of supply for the
republicans in national elections. So long
as the republicans were in power the rail
roads were willing to help them, but now
that they find The democrats are in control
of affairs there is no necessity for them to
contribute 80 literally to the republican
campaign fund

The inducement for lmpecunious femal,s

The inducement for Impecunious females
to marry war veterans is quite aluring.
Vermont rejoices in a revolutionary veer
ans widow who still draws SIG in con-
sideration of ber long lamented Capt. Ben
jamin Stevens, who fought and ran at
Bennington. AS the lady is only ninety
six and pensions seem to he the elixer of
life, there is no telling how long the wi
dow Stevens may continue to point NOR
al for prudent young women who abide
where battered veterans abound. Widow
Stevens has 1897 imitators who continue
to reap advantages from the war of 1912,
while the male pensioners on the score of
that unpleasantness number 1889, which

of reasonable time it takes nine widows

The Pablic Roads.

We are glad to observe that our esteem
ed contemporary, the Laurel Free Quill, is
inclined to compromise on the town
ship question, if the public road system
heretofore suggested and outlined by the
TIMES can lbe adopted in Maryland. In
its last issue it says:
''The Free Quill is not stubborn in its ad-
vocacy of any system. simply because other
States may have successfully operated under
rules that fer from those in operation here
We can fight under the same flag with the
TINES fer general improvement. and even ad
NIT that local conditions in this old State may
debar many Of the more promising features OF
systems favorably endorsed in the North and
West''
And again:
''There can be no doubt, that a corps in each
road district can as ably take charge of their
roads under one command as under another
We are as we'll prepared to enlist under a coun
ty flag and an appropriation, as under town
ship flag and an appropriation, bat we are GER
tain of the appropriation under the latter at all
times. Experience teaches this end of Prince
Georges county that taxes raised here make q
considerable sum Of money, which is invaria-
bly, appropriated elsewhere. 1.-THE county COM
nissieners are to retain general supervision and
authority, and there reasons ia certain Sec
ton Of Southern Maryland why they should do
so, let it be understood that some sort of scale
be established by which the amount of taxes
raised in district for road purposes shall be
apportioned, and that they shall be expe ended
there
Our neighbor will find, by reference to
our last article on this question, that all
of its objections are avoided in the road
system prepared by US. 1t is proposed
that the people of each road district shall
only be required to contribute, in services
or pecuniary equivalent, to the repair
of the roads of their own district This
will operate to keep the bulk of the road
taxes paid by each district at home. The
county commissioners would only have
the power to draw upon the several road
districts for their pro rata contribution,
according to their respective assessable
basis, to the general fund for the payment
of the salary of the general supervisor and
the procurement and maintenance of the
necessary lahor saving machinery and 9th
er incidental expenses for the general road
service.
We feel now that the Free Quill and the
TINES are in substantial accord upon this
question and we hope in future to work
in common with our neighbor for a uni
form and we'll devised public road service
in MARYLAND to he provided for bv the
State government and made obligatory
upon the -consty commissioners of the
several couu les. This will be a most inn
p"rtant, internall improvement, which will
contrfbute greatly to the general prosper
ity Of the State. and which we'll deserves
the earliest attention Of the press and all
public spirited citizens. Let US see to it
that this important question is not neg
lected when tn constitutional conven-
tion assemblies.

Commissioners Appointed.


IdGe sssi'Gs(esai,l,e.ia last weck cy
The PRESIDENT as members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission appear to have
been selected with an eye solely to the
qualities required to make that body sue
cessful in administering the most impor-
tant law passed by Congress in score Of
years.
Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley, of Michigan.
is well-knewn author of standard legal
works, and as receiver of the Wabash
Railroad Company has had practical ex-
perience in the management of railroads
As member also of the difIerential rate
commission employed by the trunk lines
some years ago to arbitrate their differ
ences in regard to East and West busi-
ness, Judge Cooley acquired q familiarity
with the railroad problem in some of its
larger aspects which can not fail to be of
service to him in the discharge of his new
duties. Of VIM. R. Morrison, of Illinois
it is not necessary to speak, as his abill-
ties and public services are beyond ques-
tion. His experience as a legislator and
his large acquaintance with public men
cannot but contribute TO the successful
working of the commission. Walter A.
Bragg, of Alabama, a lawyer of ability.
who is at the present time President of the
Alabama State Railroad Commission, is
well fitted for the larger sphere, and may
be presumed to possess special acquaint-
ance with the railroad systems of the
South Aldacs F. Walker, of Vermont,
represents New England on the commits
sion. He is lawyer who has taken great
interest and has had considerable expert
ence in legislation directed to the regula-
tion of railroads. Augustus Schoonmaker,
of New York, was Attorney General for
his State in 1873. '79, and taken a pro-
minent part in affairs for many years past
As a whole, the commission is well con-
s'ituted to inspire the country with con-
fdenoe in he honesty, justice and wisdom
of its decisions.

He Wouldn't Divide.

Henry George delivered lecture at
Chicago on the subject of an equal di-
vision of property. which was very
convincing, particularly to the janitor
of the hall where the lecture was de-
livered. Mr.. George advoc ated the
idea that all property, emolume nts. in
comes, etc, should be divided equally.
The jantor went to Mr. George after
the lecture. shook hands with the
lecturer, and told HIM he had been
very much entertained, and in fact con-
WINGED that Mr.. Georges theories were
sound, and should be adopted. He said
he would be willing to commence divid-
ing up right there and rs Mr.. George
received n hundred dollars for his
lecture, while the janitor rece ived a
dollar for taking care of the hall, if
Mr.. George would kindly give him fifty
dollars. he would divide his dollar with
Mr.. George, and thus illustrate the
beauties of the new doctrine Mr.
George declined TO divide. He said it
was not this year. bat some other year.
that the division was to- be made. The
janitor was very much disappointed
when Mr.. George refused to whack up.
As a whack-up Mr.. George is a failure,
though his theories are very beautiful TO
contemplate. Peck'S SuR.

The Process that Cotton Fiber
Goes Through.

Few people ever stop to think of the
twistngs and turnngs and the various
processes that cotton fiber goes through
after it is taken from the pod before it
Is wound upon spool and ready for the
housew fe's needle The whole story
is told. however, in a small space in
one of the cases in the hall in the Nation
al Museum, given up to an eNhibi, on
of textile fabrics. This is one of the
many object lessons in the museum,
which combined are intended TO tell the
story of man as he exists on the earth.
First is shown specimen of cotton m
the pod just as it is picked, without
having the seeds removed. Next is
shown a specimen of the same cot
ton after it has been ginned and the
black seeds removed. The Sea Island
account of the length of the fl
bre. A sample of the sacking in
which the cotton is baled is also shown.
Then the cotton is supposed to have
been baled and shipped to the thread
factory. Here the first thing that is
done with the cotton is to subject it to
the picker process, by which the cot
ton from several bales is mixed to Sc.
cure uniformity. During the picking
process much waste. in the form OF
dust, dirt and short fibres, is separated
from the good tibers, by the picker
Next the picked cotton is wound on
machine, in sheets or laps, into aroll.
The next process illustrated by a
practical exhibit is the carding, by
which the sheets of cotton are combed
or run out into long parallel fbres
The cotton is next seen drawn through
a trumpet-shaped opening, which con
denses it into a single strand of ''sil-
YER" Then eight such silvers are run
together into one, six of the strands
thus produced are drawn into one, and
drawing are combined into one. Then
comes the slubbing or fast rowing
process, which consists of winding the
strand and bobbin. Two strands are
twisted and again wound on bobbin.
After a number of other twistings and
windings, during which the strand is
gradually reduced in size until it begins
TO assume "A threadiike appearance.
two strands of this fine rowing are
run together and twisted. under con-
siderable tension, on bobbin that
makes 1000 revolutions minute. Two
of the cords thus produced are then
